2006 BMW 530XI Seats Problems

“When my front passenger seat is occupied, during startup the car chimes with an error pass restraint system fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt force limiter continue to wear the safety belt (vehicle was stationary) Bmw has issued a recall for this problem but oddly my VIN is not part of the group included.”

“The heated seats have malfunctioned burning a hole and making a large brown area on the driver side seat. This seat will burn you if left on the high setting and has a burning electrical smell. I am afraid that using it again after it burned this hole will cause a full scale fire. Not very happy to have a luxury car that you can't use one of the luxuries of because of a serious danger. These were my first heated seats ever and may be my last, very scary!”

“Bmw is recalling 200,000 my 2006 3 series sport seat, my 2004-2006 5 series standard and sport seat, and my 2004-2006 x3 passenger vehicles. Depending on the manner and frequency of the front passenger's entry and exit, small cracks have developed in the mat. If this occurs, the front passenger air bags, with the exception of the head protection system, will be deactivated and the air bag warning lamp as well as the passenger air bag on-off lamp will be illuminated. …”

“We noticed a warning on our dashboard in january 2016. Being that we are seniors, it was mid- winter and the auto dealership we go to is many miles away, we did not immediately drive to see what the light was on. When we finally did, we were told that the. Recall had expired and to fix the sensor mat in the passenger seat would cost well over $3,000??? If there was a recall , should we not have been notified? Now we are told the recall has expired and we are left with a car that has a fault in the passenger air bag. Why were we not notified of a recall?”
